No, but if you deduct you should be able to write off the interest on a mortgage loan. Contact a tax professional for details.
I'm not trying to be difficult, but I don't understand how you HAVE mortgage interest if you rent. You carry a mortgage on your rented home?
you then only have to pay the second
If you have a first mortgage and a home equity mortgage, the home equity mortgage is a second mortgage. If the home equity mortgage is not paid, the lender can foreclose and take possession of the property subject to the first mortgage. The home equity lender can pay off the first mortgage and keep any excess proceeds from a sale.
In foreclosure proceedings the 1st mortgage gets their money first. Either the 2nd mortgage will have to buy the 1st mortgage entirely and then sell your house or they will have to hope that whoever buys the mortgage at auction, will bid enough to pay them off.

The funds from the new mortgage are advanced to your solicitor who pays out the current first mortgage.

The interest paid on the mortgage in the previous year can be taken as a deduction when you itemize your tax returns. The amount of the down payment can also be considered, and possibly some part of the closing costs.

No, but you can write them off as itemized deductions on your Schedule A.

AnswerThe first mortgage would have the first position on the lien. So if the second mortgage company foreclosed on the property - they would sell the property and the sale proceeds must go to pay off the first mortgage company first. Then, if there is anything left over, that money goes to the second mortgage company.For example, there is a first mortgage of 100,000 and a second mortgage of 40,000. The property is foreclosed and sold for 125,000. The first mortgage gets paid off (100,000) and the second mortgage company gets the remaining 25,000.The property owner still owes the second mortgage company the other 15,000.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Not true. Maybe different laws in different states but here the 2nd mortgage foreclosure sale does not directly effect the 1st mortgage. It remains a lien.
You may write off up to 100,000 dollars. Also, the interest expenses you pay on a home equity loan may be deductible no matter what you use the money for. The deduction can save you money on your taxes on your return as long as you itemize your deductions on Schedule A of Form 1040. If you claim your standard deduction, then you can never deduct the interest expenses that you paid on your home equity loan.
The subordinated mortgage is usually recorded prior to the mortgage that is to take first place. That is the reason for the subordination.Suppose you granted a mortgage to Fleet Bank in 2001. That mortgage is not yet paid off and you applied for a new mortgage to Wells Fargo. The Wells Fargo mortgage is approved but Wells Fargo will require that the Fleet mortgage be subordinated because it was recorded first and will take precedence in the event of a foreclosure unless it is subordinated and Wells Fargo is allowed to take first place.The subordinated mortgage is usually recorded prior to the mortgage that is to take first place.

When a person or family buys a home with a mortgage, it is registered with the county or city registry as the first mortgage. The first mortgage is paid off first in whatever case. A second mortgage on the other hand is a secured home equity loan against the same property. If you default on your mortgage payments the lender has to wait after the till the first mortgage is paid. For this reason the second mortgage rates may be higher. Second mortgages are usually smaller loans.
